6  SPECIFICATIONS 

6.1  Physical Configuration 

 
when the temperature rises above 40 degrees C. U201D is a comparator that switches 
the TEMP LED on when the temperature rises above 90 degrees C. Q203 samples the 
line output RF voltage to turn on the RFO LED. 
 
 

Specifications 

 
 
The PA50 is designed for use with the T50 exciter to provide 20 to 150 Watts output. 
Output power regulation is performed by the exciter as it continually monitors PA 
performance. The exciter also monitors important levels such as temperature reverse 
power and drain currents to keep them within operating limits. 
 
 

6.1  Physical Configuration 

 
The PA50 is designed to fit into a 19 inch rack mounted frame. The installed height is 
4RU or 178mm and the depth is 350mm The amplifier is 125mm wide. An extruded 
aluminium heatsink with vertical fins and an enclosed fan is used. The temperature 
rise can be as high as 50 degrees depending on output power.
